*Video* Subleague 19 Jan 2013 -

So recap incase you missed it last week. Got the call last week that if I wanted to compete at Subleague I would have to move up to the open ended weight class where one of the other competitors out weighed me by 60 pounds (150 vs 209). I decided to put my big girl panties on and compete.
I ended up taking 2nd overall. I had two subs (Armbar and an Americana), a Draw, and a loss in the 1st place tiebreaker match.

The first minute sucks. Sorry. I was really worried about the take down, and even when I had a chance to take her back, I didnt commit...frankly I was a bit scared (I will be honest!)

Oh, and thats my hubby taking video...he gets excited! :)

Bad ass! It's always awesome watching the 10P ladies compete, it's like their attention to detail is better than some of the guys sometimes because they consistently have to have good technique because they're dealing with men who are most likely bigger and stronger In the Gym. Awesome Job Rachael. Keep up the unreal work! That armbar was slick.

Thanks John. I am glad I competed. There was four of us in the bracket (pool format) so I got 4 good rolls (including the tiebreaker match). I left there feeling good about where I am at with my Jitz, but ofcourse I also left there with a list of things I want to do better. :)

Awesome. Great match and great win!

That was brilliant! Your side control was really impressive given how much bigger than you she was and the way you kept hunting the arm was really good too!

Dope match Rachael!! congrats.. Hey there's a lil trick I learned from Shields, during my brief stint in SF area. Since you had the back and you were both standing, jump to her calves, and keep a seat belt around her waist. this will pull her backward to her butt. then you just go to work from there.

If you need an example of what I am describing, I'll find a video somewhere online.
take care. -slk

I googled but couldn't find what I think you are talking about. If you come across some video, I'd love to see it. Either way, thanks for the feedback.

Thanks. I thought I would get the Americana but she started grabbing MY rashguard... I'll take the Armbar any day!

Fantastic trip. You have been developing that take down for a long time now. Excellent control on top with constant pressure. Great job Rachael. Let Scott know he did great as a corner as well. Fantastic family effort. 10pSpokane represent

Thanks Coach Valdez :)

I will pass it on to Scott -- that man gets SOOO excited when Mikey and I compete. And speaking of Mikey, I was so proud of him this weekend. He took 2nd in No Gi (losing in the 1st place tiebreaker match). And in his first time competing Gi (with a borrowed Gi), he took 2nd. Not bad for a kid that doesn't train Gi.
**Mikey did a Twister Roll from Twister side and as soon as he started rolling, the ref stepped in. He didn't stop it but I was damn sure he thought Mikey was doing some funky illegal leg lock. It was pretty funny. Probably doesnt see that alot from 10 year olds!

Hi Rachael, here's the vid. It's Dan Black's YouTube channel. Was from 3 years ago.
But if you look at 50 seconds you'll see me jump to the back of his knees while pulling him down.
Then from there, just work your RNC magic and you'll be set.
Hope this helps,
Rick

Great job Rachael, and please send good vibes to Mikey as well. Little stud!

Thanks Coach Dub.

I know, right! Must have been the new rashguard!
I did briefly fish for her thigh to go to Spiderweb at the beginning but, well..., ummm..., I wasn't sure if I would be able to get a good hook (if you know what I mean). I should have attempted again later in the roll.

Thank you sir! :)

I think you did great, keep drilling. I'm sure we ll see more videos of you winning bigger matches
